NEWS FROM THE NORTH PTO
The North PTO is excited for the upcoming school year. We are still in need of a Secretary for the 2024-25 school year; contact PTO President Julie Govreau at scnhs.pto@gmail.com if interested in this position.
Please support the North PTO by paying for your family’s PTO membership during registration which opens on July 1st.
PTO membership is $30/a family (not per student) and does NOT require any time commitment. 97% of our budget comes from membership dues.

The PTO’s focus is on supporting student social events and student health, providing parent information and support for parent events at school, and providing North staff support when needed and hospitality. Membership dues is required to apply for PTO Scholarships.

D303 BOUNDARY UPDATE
The District 303 Board has approved boundary maps for elementary, middle, and high schools. Maps are effective with the 2024-2025 school year beginning this fall. The Board's decision completes a process that began last fall to reduce school overcrowding and help to ensure equitable learning experiences across the District. District 303 had contracted with demographer RSP & Associates to create concept maps based on Board-approved guiding principles and community feedback. Please see the parent notice from Superintendent Gordon to learn more and review the approved maps.
